ALAN Curtis up front with Michael Laudrup playing just behind — it sounds like a front pairing in the ulti- mate fantasy football team.

But that was the potent attacking threat the South Wales press team had to nullify in our annual match against the Swansea City staff yesterday.

The pre-match excitement that had been bubbling in the Liberty Stadium’s away dressing room started to drain when our opponents’ team sheet came through.

As well as facing a Swansea legend and one of the greatest footballers to ever play the game, we would also be coming up against former Danish international Morten Wieghorst and Kristian O’Leary, a man with almost 300 league appearances to his name.
